Topic: by Victor Goldschmidt - ?Creativity in
Problem Solving In Engineering?
March 31, 2008 at 11:30AM to 1:30PM
UWO Weldon Library Room #258
There is a dramatic difference between the problem solving techniques
presented to us in formal engineering courses, and the skills that are
called for in actual practice.

These differences will be outlined, leading towards a special focus on
the need for cooperation between creativity and problem solving in
engineering applications.

Blocks inherent in problem solving will be addressed, as well as some
fascinating techniques.
